Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 452 Peace is precious (2)

"His Royal Highness, none of the 220 eight people who should be executed slipped through the net. We killed 17 people and injured 37. The target has now fled to Li Wen's mansion. Please make it clear, Your Highness!"

In the study room of Prince Ying's Mansion, Li Yaodong, who was dressed in black, stood bowed in the hall, facing Li Xian who was sitting at the head, reporting concisely.

"The order of the orphans, all the dead and injured, the pension will be doubled, and the families of the dead will be taken care of by the 'Deng Ji Firm' according to the usual practice. In addition, additional manpower will be sent to Lintao, and the 'Black Wind' must be investigated within two months." The thief's lair is located, there must be no mistake!"

If there is a war, people will die. Li Xian is not clear about this, but when he heard that his side lost as many as 17 people in the first battle, Li Xian's heart tightened fiercely. The generals sent out were not ordinary sergeants, but the most elite force under Li Xian's command, which was where Li Xian's team was located. It's no wonder Li Xian didn't feel sorry for this guy who lost so many people.

"promise!"

Seeing Li Xian's solemn expression, Li Yaodong didn't dare to neglect him, he hastily responded, and hurriedly left the study, not mentioning about the arrangements.

"Your Highness, Governor Wang is about to arrive."

Li Xian was not in a very good mood, so he didn't want to talk much, he just sat still in a dull mood. Seeing this, Zhang Jianzhi had to interrupt.

"Well, it's time for him to arrive, anyway, if this guy is still sticky there, I can only ask him and Liu Yizhi to be companions."

Lanzhou is the military and political center of Hexi, the most critical place. Li Xian cannot tolerate the position of governor of Lanzhou being in the hands of outsiders, even if this person is very capable. Shit, there is no doubt that Li Xian has completely lost patience with Wang Geng's vacillations. The post station case is Li Xian's last chance for Wang Geng. If he still wants to be a pure minister, Li Xian had no choice but to bear the pain and let him take the blame.

"A good bird chooses a tree to rest, Wang Cishi is not a fool, he will know how to choose."

Zhang Jianzhi is not a talkative person, but at this moment, in order to distract Li Xian's mind, he inevitably talked a little too much.

"If only."

Li Xian is actually very optimistic about Wang Geng's ability. If not, he would not recommend him as the governor of Lanzhou. The reason why he was recommended as the governor of Lanzhou is actually Wang Geng's neutrality, so that he can pass the review of the court, but he did not expect that Wang Geng actually planned to carry out the neutrality to the end, which is not what Li Xian wanted The desired result was achieved. Li Xian hadn't caught the opportunity a few months ago, but this time Li Xian didn't want Wang Geng to be so carefree.

"Your Highness, Wang Geng, the governor of Lanzhou, is asking for an audience outside the door."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao hurriedly turned out from the screen, walked up to Li Xian, and rushed to report.

"It's coming? Let's pass it on!"

Wang Geng's arrival was expected, so Li Xian didn't take it seriously, raised his brows, and gave a very calm order.

"promise!"

Gao Miao answered the promise loudly, turned around, and hurriedly exited the study, and turned back with Wang Geng, who was already sweating profusely, within a few moments.

"Your Highness, it's too bad, something serious happened. The inn was raided at night, and all members of Pei's staff were killed on the spot, but Pei's whereabouts were missing, and he was suspected of being captured alive. The lower officials have sent people to seal off the scene. It is under investigation, and I would like to ask His Highness to express his actions."

The imperial envoy represents the imperial power, and a slight mistake is a big deal, not to mention the current situation. No matter whether Pei Shoude can be rescued or not, as the governor of Lanzhou, Wang Geng will never escape the responsibility. It is inevitable to be anxious if you have to take off the top layer of skin. No, before Gao Miao stepped forward to reply, Wang Geng rushed forward impatiently, reporting the report with an extremely anxious expression.

"Huh? What's going on? There are so many entourages outside Pei, and you sent a battalion of soldiers to guard them. Why did such a tragedy happen? Tell me! I made it clear to Gu!"

Hearing what Wang Geng said, Li Xian stood up abruptly, stared at Wang Geng intently, and roared in extreme annoyance. The burst of evil spirit made Wang Geng tremble involuntarily.

"No, I don't know, I don't know, I just got the letter, I really don't know why this happened, I, I..."

As soon as Wang Geng was in a hurry, he immediately stuttered, took a big step back, and reluctantly explained something, beads of sweat on his forehead gushed like a waterfall.

"I don't know? I don't know! As the governor, I don't want to appease the place, so I'm so busy, huh? How can I ask Gu to explain to my father when such a big event happened!"

Since Li Xian intends to force Wang Geng to stand in line, he will not give him any face at this time, and he will not wait for him to finish speaking, and he will scold him all over the face.

"I'm really ashamed of my negligence in duty, I dare not argue, I implore Your Highness to punish me, this official, this official is incompetent, I am ashamed of my love for Your Highness, this official..."

Things got so big that Wang Geng really had no choice but to admit his guilt vigorously, and really didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Now that something has happened, we have to find a way to solve it."

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Zhang Jianzhi, who had been sitting silently by the side, finally opened his mouth, and gently persuaded him.

"Solution? What's the solution? Hmph, the matter of the solitary being assassinated has not yet been clarified, and there is such a big scene there. This Hexi is really evil. Anyone who dares to come to the solitary treatment center to make a fuss. Let Gu appease his anger? How should this anger be appeased, hmph!"

Li Xian's acting skills are naturally very good. When he acted in anger, there was no trace of falsehood, and there was no trace of unnaturalness on his extremely angry face.

"Your Highness, the matter has not yet reached the point of irreversibility, but it is especially possible to get rid of Pei Yuanwai to be safe. In Zhang's opinion, we still have to try to rescue Pei Yuanwai first, and then count the rest. Negligence, and it is not impossible to allow him to make up for his mistakes."

Zhang Jianzhi's acting skills are obviously not bad. When he plays a good person, he looks like a real person, and his words are extremely sincere. Wang Geng was so moved that he couldn't stop crying.

"Huh! The order of the orphan: search the whole city, and find out the whereabouts of Pei Yuanwai. If you are born, you must see the person, and if you die, you must see the corpse. Mr. Zhang, you go with him, and you must settle this matter for the orphan. Otherwise, not only will you be unlucky, Gu will also suffer, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you go!"

Rao Zhang Jianzhi spoke very sincerely, but Li Xian's "anger" obviously didn't dissipate much, he snorted coldly, and let Zhang Jianzhi down with him.

"promise!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

After Li Xian gave the order, Zhang and Wang didn't dare to disobey, they each bowed to their promises, they all left the study, and went to search the whole city without mentioning it.

Old Wangtou, I'm sorry, but if you still want to be a pure minister this time, I have no choice but to let you do it once!Looking at the backs of Zhang and Wang's exit, Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief, quickly adjusted his mentality, and prepared to welcome the second group of guests. As for whether Wang Geng will be persuaded by Zhang Jianzhi, Li Xian has already decided If you don't care about it anymore, if Wang Geng refuses to lose his sincerity, then he should just sit on the bench.

"His Royal Highness, Li Zhonglang has brought Chen Wushuang, the document from the mansion, and is waiting outside the gate of the mansion."

Li Xian predicted it right, Gao Miao came to report Chen Wushuang's arrival less than half an hour after Zhang and Wang left.

"Is he alone?"

Li Xian had already figured out Chen Wushuang's background, he knew that this person Fang was the real host of the King of Yue family in Hexi, so he was not surprised that he rushed here at this time, and he also knew that Fang was here to give gifts , the only uncertain thing is how big the "gift" it brings.

"If you go back to His Highness, he will be alone."

Li Xian asked a question, Gao Miao didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly answered.

"Well, then invite him to the study for a while."

Li Xian nodded calmly, and ordered casually.

"promise."

Gao Miao respectfully agreed and left, and immediately accompanied Chen Wushuang in Tsing Yi from outside the room.

"Craftsman Chen Wushuang kowtowed to His Royal Highness the King of England."

Chen Wushuang was very respectful, as soon as he saw Li Xian's face, he immediately rushed forward and bowed with great respect.

"Mr. Chen doesn't have to be like this, let's be flat, come here, show Mr. Chen a seat!"

For those who came to "give gifts", Li Xian naturally had to be more polite, so he waved his hand very warmly, signaling Chen Wushuang to get up, and shouted for someone to bring a brocade to Chen Wushuang.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your seat."

Chen Wushuang finished the big ceremony without being surprised, thanked him, walked to Jindun, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down in an orderly manner, with a calm and calm attitude, waiting on the side Seeing this, the schoolboys hurriedly served the newly brewed fragrant tea, and then all left the study room.

"Mr. Chen, please use tea!"

As for Chen Wushuang's reason for coming, Li Xian already guessed the root cause, but he didn't rush to get to the point. Instead, he compared his hands and greeted with a smile.

"Good tea, is this tea from Longjing before the rain in West Lake?"

Although Chen Wushuang came to admit defeat, he didn't intend to move out all his old friends as soon as he came up. Seeing that Li Xian was not in a hurry, he also assumed a leisurely posture, picked up the tea bowl, and tasted it lightly. He took a small mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and said hello.

"That's right, Mister is really clever. This tea was sent by merchants from the south of the Yangtze River. I drank it alone and thought it was good, so I kept some of it. If Mister thinks it's good too, I'll send some to Mister's house later."

When it comes to pretending to be elegant, Li Xian, who has experienced three generations, is more elegant than anyone else, and he is gentle and courteous, as if the big guy is an old friend reminiscing about the past.

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness. However, it is really uneasy for Caomin to be rewarded for nothing. How about allowing Caomin to give a big gift to His Highness?"

Li Xian was able to be calm and calm because everything was under his control, but Chen Wushuang didn't have the confidence. Seeing that Li Xian didn't ask her why she came here, Chen Wushuang had no choice but to focus on the word "ritual" in front of her eyes. got to the point.

"Oh? Mister means..."

Hearing what Chen Wushuang said, Li Xian secretly smiled inwardly, but his face pretended to be surprised, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at Chen Wushuang suspiciously, as if he really didn't understand what he said.
